Hello, i'am Matthias, i have tried to activate two grafic cards to work with two monitors. I'am using XFree86 4.xx and i used a card with nvidia Chipset (nv driver - AGP) and one with from trident (trident driver - PCI).
Sorry, but my english is very bad - i hope everyone can understand me. The Xinerama mode works fine with this Configuration but i want to have a login (XDM,KDM,..) wthin every monitor. I have created two serverlayouts within XF86Config and started them with a entry within the Xservers file with the option "-layout Layoutname". Every layout has a own mouse but the keyboard is assigned to both because i have only one. (Secundary Question : Is there any possibility to connect more then one keyboard to the PC ?) I can start this configuration and i have a login on every Screen but not at the same Time. Alt+Ctrl+F7 enables one and F8 the other monitor. The not enabled one is blank or with undefined content. the textconsoles (F1 - F6) somitimes dont work after starting this configuration - both screens are blank or unsynchronized. I think this is a problem with the vt - virtual console service. vt controls both cards but i shouldt control only one card. The other card should display the X-Screen all the times. I know there is a problem with assigning the keyboard to a screen - is it possible to switch the keyboard with F7,F8 without disabling the screens of the assigned cards ? Has anyone an idea to get a login within two monitors at the same time or only run two servers (one without keyboard) an two cards with displaying his screens at the same time ? Thanks for all helpers, Matthias Matthias Bader Germany.
